Your refrigerator has two controls
that let you regulate the temperature
in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
INITIALLY, set the
FRESH
FOOD control at
5
and the
FREEZER control at
C.
For colder or warmer temperatures,
adjust the desired compartment
control one letter or number at a time.
IMPORTANT: When initially
setting
controls,
or
adjusting them,
allow
24
hours for temperatures
to stabilize,
or
even out.
Note: Turning fresh food control
to
OFF
position stops cooling in
BOTH
compartments-fresh food
AND freezer-but does not shut
off power to refrigerator.
How to test temperatures
Use the milk
test
for the fresh food
compartment.
Place a container of
milk
on the top shelf
in
the tiesh
food compartment. Check
it
a day
later.
If
the milk is too warm or too
cold, adjust the tempera- controls.
Use the ice cream test for the
freezer compartment.
Place a
container of ice cream in the center
of the freezer compartment. Check
it after a day. If it’s too hard or too
soft,
adjust the temperature controls.
Always allow
24
hours for
the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you set.
If
you turn your household
thermostat below
60°F.
at night
. .
.you may want to turn the
lettered
control one step colder,
as
from “C”
to
“D?
Cooler temperatures
in
the
house may cause the compressor to
operate less frequently, thus allowing
the freezer compartment to warm
somewhat. To protect your frozen
food supply, leave your
lettered
setting at this colder setting for the
entire winter or for whatever period
of time you are turning down your
thermostat. This is especially
important when the thermostat is
turned down for
an
extended period.
This change should have no effect
on your fresh food compartment.
However,
if
freezing occurs, turn
the numbered control one step
warmer, as from
“5”
to
“41’
When you stop turning the
thermostat down, turn temperature
controls back
to
their regular
settings.
Energy Saver Switch
The Energy Saver Switch is located
on the temperature control panel.
To
reduce the amount of
electricity required to operate
your refrigerator, push switch
to the left position.

This turns
off
heaters in your
refrigerator that prevent moisture
from forming
on
the outside.
Use of the Energy Saver Switch can
save you money. Estimated yearly
savings, depending on your local
electric rates, are as follows:

With the heaters turned off, there
is a chance that moisture may form
on the outside of your refrigerator,
especially when the weather is
humid. The humidity is most likely
to be high
in
the summer,
in
the
early morning hours, and
in
homes
which are not air conditioned.
Over an extended period of time,
moisture that forms on the outside
may cause deterioration of the paint
finish. It will be important to protect
the finish by using appliance polish
wax
as
described on page
11.
When the Energy Saver Switch
is
pushed to the right,
electricity
flows through the low wattage
heaters which
warm
the outside
of the cabinet and, under most
conditions, prevent the forming
of moisture or water droplets.
No
Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the
freezer or fresh food compartments.
Your refrigerator is designed
and equipped to defrost itself
automatically.
